Comments-A very solid day for Harbor Lights.Much IMPROVED play by ALL players today.Even our lower doubles groups won some games and made things interesting with IMPROVED play and doing the little things BETTER-getting more serves in,extending the vollies longer,and better COMMUNICATION w/their partners.Just a quick TIP to you guys-if a ball is going to be OUT,let it go so we can WIN the point.Too many shots that were hit LONG by the opposing team need to be left to go OUT so we can WIN the point.Highlights of today were Sam Duckworth winning a game versus Ryan Rhodes at 1 Singles and getting some confidence going into the rematch and Drew Dykens winning a thriller versus Robert Frieling at 2 Singles 7-6(7-5) and coming way back from an 0-4 hole in the 2nd set and winning 6-4 in straight sets in a match that took 1 1/2 hrs and ended at 6PM w/everyone else done.It was also great to see my 13th Doubles team of Nolan Briggs and Christian Rottier play a great competitive match only losing 5-6 and really improved both of their games.Also I was very proud of how well my 14th Doubles team of David Stanley and Matt Weimer played despite losing 2-6.Their match had a lot of long vollies,nicely placed shots,and to win a couple games is huge for these 2 guys and will give them some confidence and momentum going into our next match.Great job all of you guys! More match play coming up to keep you guys on your toes with my goal to pair you against playing better people to push you to match their game and help you improve.
***NOTE-Prosets for today were reduced to winning 6 games versus 8 games due to Holland Chr. having only 12 players.This was a joint decision we as coaches made to make sure ALL the WO kids could get their matches in.When we play them the second time at our place it will be an 8 game proset(unless we run short on time near the end)
Thanks and Great Job AGAIN!!!! Coach Dykens
